‘Easier to buy pot than coffee’: MP CRIME
Decriminalizing would profit gangs, Liberals argue David P. Ball
Metro | Vancouver
DAD’S EXILE ENDS Vancouver family reunites three years after Honduran’s deportation metroNEWS
A lone Liberal MP from Toronto broke ranks with his party during a pot debate Monday, lending his support to a New Democrat motion to decriminalize the drug until it becomes legal next year. Nathaniel Erskine-Smith argued in the House of Commons that continuing to prosecute people for simple possession of the drug — 57,314 Canadians in 2014, according to Statistics Canada — is unfair. “Is not decriminalization a fairer option as a matter of scarce judicial resources and a matter of not affecting young people’s lives negatively, for no reason at all, when we’re legalizing within one year?” he asked. His comments came during an NDP motion that would see selling marijuana remain illegal in Canada, but simple pos-
session for personal use not be enforced. Victoria MP Murray Rankin, the party’s justice critic, said in an email that many voters feel betrayed by the Liberals’ election promise to reform weed laws quickly. Maintaining the status quo, he argued, would needlessly risk the future jobs and travel of more than 20,000 people who get pot-related criminal records every year. Liberal cannabis czar Bill Blair — previously Toronto police chief — said the NDP’s motion was “reckless in the extreme” and could “create much greater risk for our communities to remove all control from cannabis,” he said. “It would create opportunities for organized crime,” he argued Monday, “and put our children at risk.” Quebec Conservative MP Alain Rayes accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of “trivializing” drug use, especially for young people who are more “vulnerable” to its effects. “Imagine: In Vancouver there are more illegal pot shops than Starbucks,” he said. “It’s easier to buy pot than coffee in Vancouver. “If you can grow it at home, when it’s legalized, people can do it everywhere. Nothing will protect our children.”

Board foots bill for dumped concrete John Hendry Park
Park at a loss as to who was behind 7-tonne mischief Wanyee Li
Metro | Vancouver The Vancouver Park Board is footing a $7,000 cleanup bill after someone dumped about seven tonnes of pulverized concrete onto a rugby field near Trout Lake in May. A resident witnessed the incident at the northeast field in John Hendry Park and reported it to the park board on May 15, according to a board spokesperson. It’s the first time the manager of park operations, Brian Quinn, has encountered such a bizarre incident. “It’s always a surprise to see something like this happen,” he said. “It’s a conundrum for us.” It took two days for 10 park
board staff to clean up the concrete, which covered a third of the field. The field has been closed to the public for almost a month to allow the grass underneath to recover. The park board has not been able to identify the people responsible for the concrete dump. At this point, staff only know that twelve people used a dump truck to transport the load. Several sports groups scheduled to play on the field have had to relocate due to the field closure. Renting out fields to user groups is a source of income for the park board. One of those groups was TFC volleyball, an organization that has run a grass league on the field for the past 12 years. “I have to give some kudos to (the park board) because I know it was a big inconvenience for them to help us out and other user groups who use the field,” said Rex Go, managing director at TFC Volleyball. “At this late in the stage, everything is booked.” The field will remain closed for at least one more week.
It took almost a dozen park board staff to scrape seven tonnes of pulverized concrete off a rugby field near Trout Lake. Jennifer Gauthier/Metro

Language plays big role in new First Nation curriculum There is only one fluent speaker of the Upriver Halq’eméylem language left in the world, but students in the Stó:lō Nation in B.C.’s Fraser Valley will soon be able to see exactly how she pronounces the nearly lost words. Educators in the Seabird Island Band are putting greater
emphasis on language revitalization in a new curriculum that is being developed for the 2017-18 school year. They have documented the language through ultrasound, using the same technique instructors in UBC’s Cantonese program are piloting with their students this summer.

The technique allows students to see how the mouth’s muscles move when pronouncing certain sounds — a valuable resource when there is only one person left in the world who speaks the language. “Our language holds the culture, it holds the heart, it

Family reunited after 3 years border security show
Father grateful to be back in Canada after deportation David P. Ball
Metro | Vancouver Renan Aviles Hernandez remembers the fateful day in he answered a knock on the door he was painting at an East Vancouver construction site in late March 2013. He was expecting it was his coworkers inviting him to lunch. It wasn’t. “It was immigration,” the 38-year-old told Metro. “He told me I was under arrest.” In the hallway outside, two of his co-workers were already in handcuffs. But it wasn’t just Canada Border Services Agency enforcement officers at the scene. There were also video cameras from a reality television show, Border Security: Canada’s Front Line. On Monday, Metro reported that the show was cancelled after a three-year campaign by activists, a ruling by Canada’s privacy commissioner finding the show had violated privacy law, and a petition launched by Aviles Hernandez’s wife, Diana Thompson to scrap the show. “People don’t need our hardships exploited on TV,” she told Metro. “It’s not entertainment. We’re real people with real feelings.” The couple married in 2012. She has an 11-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, and he a 12-year-old son from another. But the Honduran was living here without legal papers. When Thompson received a call from his coworker about

Renan Aviles Hernandez his arrest, the moment she’d long feared had come: “Everything just stopped — I felt kind of lost.” As he faced deportation from Vancouver airport, Diana and her daughter were even barred from saying goodbye. “I wish I had the opportunity
to give them a hug,” he said. “I wasn’t allowed to see them.” She immediately began a three-year crusade to bring him back and sponsor him as a spouse, a costly process she’d begun before his arrest. In January, her effort paid off: Canada accepted him as a permanent

resident and he returned. The separation had been hardest on her daughter. “It took its toll on her,” Thompson said. “She was always asking, ‘When’s he coming? Why can’t he come here?’ “She was definitely heartbroken and confused about the whole thing.” According to the family’s Vancouver lawyer, Zool Suleman, although Aviles Hernandez overstayed his original visa in Canada, CBSA could have taken into account his roots here, his
lack of criminal record and his family, and granted a humanitarian exception without removing him. “He should not have been deported at all,” Suleman said. “This has caused great anguish to his family, and of course the children in his life. To separate a father from his family is a really serious thing. I think CBSA needs to review its policy.” Suleman wants to know why the agency “seemed very bent on deporting everyone caught as part of this film project,” he
said. “In my mind, there’s no doubt the hysteria around the film project clouded their judgment.” Thompson and Aviles Hernandez are now settling into the next phase of their family’s life. Like thousands of other Vancouverites, the family spent Sunday enjoying the tastes, sights and sounds of Italian Day on Commercial Drive. “It felt so free to go there with my family. And I don’t have to be worried anymore about immigration.”

Healthy lifestyle The link between sugar consumption and increased body fat has long been known. Too much sugar in the diet promotes more insulin, the fat storing hormone, and thus more body fat.

ZUCCARIN MAX CHANGED MY LIFE TM
“I have taken this supplement for 2 years now and can’t imagine being without it. I have seen my blood sugar levels stabilize and I have even lost 25 pounds of weight since starting. I have recommended it to a lot of my friends and they are now experiencing the same good results as I have. ” Elenor C. Miami, FL.
The subjects lost 10% of their body weight and lost 3 times the weight of the control group, who were on a controlled diet, but without a mulberry supplement. In addition, the subjects also experienced healthier blood sugar levels after using this mulberry supplement. The explanation for the weight loss is that Zuccarin uses natural mulberry leaf extract and chromium to block absorption of sugars in the foods we eat. When these sugars are undigested, our blood sugar stabilizes, and weight loss occurs.

Open houses begin for bridge project translink
Pattullo replacement still looking for funding Matt Kieltyka
Metro | Vancouver TransLink is pushing ahead with the Pattullo Bridge replacement project, even though its funding remains up in the air. The transit authority is holding the first of four open houses Wednesday evening at Surrey City Hall to give people a chance to review community connection options for both Surrey and New Westminster with technical staff. A new $978-million four-lane tolled bridge was envisioned to replace the 78-year-old Pattullo Bridge in the mayors’ 10-year transit plan in 2014, but the
plan has been stalled since the region voted against a proposed sales tax to pay for it last year. TransLink spokesperson Jennifer Morland said it recently submitted a funding request to PPP Canada for the bridge replacement and that planners are continuing to work on the project as proposed in the mayors’ plan (although costs estimates will have to be updated). “The project itself has not been fully approved. We’re still in the planning phase on the project,” said Morland. If all goes well, TransLink hopes to hire a contractor in 2017 and begin construction in 2018 with the aim of a 2022 completion. The current bridge is in desperate need of replacement. Work is underway until October on $10 million worth of repairs on the bridge, which Morland says should be enough to keep the crossing in good condition until a replacement is built.
$10M The current bridge is in desperate need of replacement. Work is underway until October on $10 million worth of repairs.
The first open house at Surrey City Hall runs from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday. The remaining dates include Saturday at Sapperton Pensioners’ Hall in New Westminster (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.), June 22 at the Inn at the Quay in New Westminster (5 to 8 p.m.) and June 25 at Bridgeview Elementary School in Surrey (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Details, including the consultation materials presented at the open houses, are available on TransLink’s website. The website also includes a discussion guide and online survey about the project.

City chef Tojo honoured as ambassador for Japanese food Vancouver restaurateur and culinary inventor Hidekazu Tojo is being honoured as a Goodwill Ambassador for Japanese Cuisine. The appointment has been made by the Japanese government’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forest and Fisheries. Tojo came to Vancouver in the early 1970s, and his restaurant’s
website says he is the creator of the first California roll — named not for the state but for the origin of the avocado inside the seaweed and rice wrapped sushi. His Vancouver restaurant has garnered international attention and numerous awards including an annual Zagat extraordinary rating from 2007 to 2012. A news release from the
Japanese consulate says the appointment distinguishes Tojo as belonging to the top tier of Japanese chefs and makes him one of 13 such ambassadors outside Japan. The Consul General of Japan in Vancouver will formally present a certificate to him in a special ceremony planned for Thursday. THE CANADIAN PRESS

UBC’s new head promises change education
Newcomer enters at time of university crises, assaults The University of British Columbia’s new president is promising greater transparency while listening to students and faculty, as he joins the institution at a tumultuous time in its history. Santa Ono, 53, who was born in Vancouver and has served as president of the University of Cincinnati since 2012, will take the reins amid ongoing criticisms of UBC’s governance and its handling of campus sexual assaults. The renowned biomedical researcher told an enthusiastic crowd inside the university’s law school that leading UBC is a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity that he could not pass up. “I view myself as a servant leader,” he said. “I see my job as working on behalf of the entire UBC community. I am working to serve you, not vice versa.” The university has been gripped by a governance crisis since last August, when former president Arvind Gupta abrupt-
Santa Ono is UBC’s new president. the canadian press
ly resigned. In the months that followed, the board chairman stepped down amid an academic freedom controversy and the faculty association passed a resolution declaring it had
lost confidence in the board. Ono, the son of a Japaneseborn professor who taught math at UBC in the 1960s, said he wasn’t scared off by the events of the past 10 months.
“In fact, it made me even more interested in coming here to contribute to this university that is so dear to my family, and doing everything in my power to help the institution
become even more outstanding,” he said. He told reporters he met with the board of governors and new chairman Stuart Belkin and he felt confident that work to improve transparency and accountability had already begun. The university has also faced accusations that it delayed taking action on multiple sexual assault allegations against a PhD student. Ono said he had handled similar problems in Cincinnati. “I’m very experienced in dealing with these sorts of issues,” he said. “We can move forward.” Faculty association president Mark Mac Lean said Ono’s opening remarks showed he is well aware that addressing UBC’s governance matters will be critical to regaining the confidence of professors. “He has given strong signals that he desires to be a president that engages well with the faculty and that he sees himself as a member of the faculty,” Mac Lean said in an email. Belkin praised Ono’s extraordinary life and accomplishments and said the board unanimously appointed him to a five-year term. Ono will earn $470,000 an-
nually. It’s a pay cut from his salary of $525,000 US at the University of Cincinnati, where in recent years he donated his bonuses to charity. He holds a biology degree from the University of Chicago and an experimental medicine PhD from McGill University. His research has focused on the immune system and eye disease, and he has held prestigious positions at Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
I view myself as a servant leader. Santa Ono
Ono drew praise last month when he spoke frankly about his experiences with depression, reminding students that mental illness can be treated. He revealed that he first tried to kill himself at 14 and his second attempt came in his mid-20s. He lived in an apartment on UBC’s campus for the first few years of his life, and he said he expects his parents to make an emotional visit to his new home, the 6,400-square foot Norman Mackenzie House.
The background, life and interests of Vancouver-born Santa Ono board unanimously appointed him president in 2012. Personal life: Ono met his wife Wendy Yip at McGill. She is an accomplished immunologist and lawyer. Her late father was from Shanghai and taught at McGill, while her mother Dr. Alice Chan-Yip is a pediatrician and a member of the Order of Canada. Ono and Yip have two daughters, aged 18 and 11. Musical interests:
Ono is a cellist and studied at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore. He is avid music lover whose tastes range from Rihanna to Russian pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff. Mental health advocacy: Ono spoke frankly about his mental health history at a fundraiser last month. The event was to commemorate a student who had killed himself in 2014. Ono revealed that he had twice attempted
suicide: once when he was 14 and the second time in his mid-20s. He said in a statement Monday that he aimed to spread awareness about mental illness and share his own struggles as a high-achieving student who battled and beat depression. Quote: “Thank you for making it possible for this Vancouver boy to return home,” he said Monday during his introduction. THE CANADIAN PRESS

supreme court
Sting was only way to investigate couple: Lawyer Mounties in charge of an undercover sting on a British Columbia couple accused of being terrorist sympathizers can’t be faulted for bringing in a “closer” to wrap up the controversial operation, says a Crown lawyer. Peter Eccles told B.C. Supreme Court on Monday that police couldn’t draw out their investigation indefinitely and needed to determine whether John Nuttall and Amanda Korody were serious about following through with any of their
various proposals for jihad, or holy war. “So long as (the closer) doesn’t induce, incite or entrap, you can’t fault the police for wanting to shut this thing down,” Eccles said. “(The police) can’t walk away. Not from these two. Not with what they know. So they have to find some way to arrest or walk.” Nuttall and Korody were found guilty of planting what they believed were pressure-
cooker bombs at the B.C. legislature on July 1, 2013, with the intention to commit mass murder during Canada Day festivities. Their verdicts were put on hold while lawyers argue in a second hearing whether police manipulated the couple. An elaborate undercover operation involving more than 240 officers was the only way for officers to protect the public, Eccles told the court.

small, making it difficult for RCMP to find a confidential informant, he said. The Mounties steered Nuttall and Korody toward planting bombs at the provincial legislature because it was a safer and more manageable scenario than other riskier ideas the pair had floated, Eccles added. Those ideas included hijacking a navy submarine, firing rockets at Seattle and infiltrating a synagogue to slaughter Jewish children. the canadian press

Company ‘failed’ actor maze runner
Employer at fault in star’s injury, says WorksafeBC B.C.’s work-safety agency says a film production company “failed” to ensure the safety of workers on the set of Maze Runner: The Death Cure when actor Dylan O’Brien was injured in March. WorksafeBC says an actor was injured March 17 after a change to an action sequence in the film. After the incident in B.C.’s interior, 20th Century Fox said O’Brien was immediately transferred to a Vancouver hospital and that production on the film would be shut down while he recovered. Director Wes Ball tweeted after the accident that O’Brien would finish shooting the latest instalment of the popular franchise a few weeks after recover-
ing. However, it’s unclear if filming for the movie has resumed and a spokesman in Los Angeles said Monday that Ball was out of the country. No one from 20th Century Fox responded to requests for comment. The actor’s name is redacted from an Employer Incident Investigation Report issued by the safety agency and in its Inspection Report, the person who was injured is referred to as the worker. A nine-hour inspection was completed in May and the safety agency alleges in one of the reports that Fox US Productions 49 contravened a section of the provincial Workers Compensation Act. The alleged breach happened during the filming of a rehearsed sequence, the report says. It isn’t clear from the reports what the actor was doing at the time of the accident, but one of the reports says the scene involved a trailing and leading vehicle. the canadian press

Dear Tim Hortons: Where are the women? A proposal to create a formal diversity policy at the parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King aimed at increasing the number of women on its all-male board of directors has been rejected. Oceanrock Investments Inc. and the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE) asked the company to write a formal diversity policy and inform shareholders how and when it intends to increase the number of women on its board of directors and in senior management positions. Oceanrock Investments, which said it owns nearly 19,000 RBI shares, acted on behalf of the Meritas Jantzi social index fund. Before Tim Hortons and Burger King merged and became RBI in late 2014, a quarter of the Tim Hortons board was comprised of women, according to the shareholder proposal. Now RBI’s 11-person board of directors is all male. The proposal asked RBI to complete the policy and update shareholders by December 2016. While there are many benefits to increasing gender diversity on corporate boards, including the potential for better shareholder returns, that

independent shareholders supported their proposal as more detailed results are released in the next few days. The board had declined to make a recommendation on how shareholders should vote, but did amend its new director nomination process to consider diverse candidates in response to the proposal.

For many consumers, the need to stay on top of their budget — even on a daily basis — is an essential part of their financial strategy. One way to help manage that is by making most transactions with a debit card. It’s simple to use, offers convenient access to cash, and enables the user to remain within an allotted budget every day. For those who aren’t fans of potentially comprehensive administration, the debit card is a boon. Typically, checking and savings accounts have a debit card automatically linked to them, side-stepping the need to complete additional applications. As far as expedient retail transactions go, it’s hard to top the performance of the debit card. It’s as simple as it is speedy. And since the debit card only lets you spend what’s currently in your account, you’re less likely to spend more than you can afford. That’s essential for consumers who wish to stay on top of their spending habits, with a goal of remaining fiscally responsible. And having an updated account balance in your hand after each trans-

Orlando shooting Orlando
Terrorist was ‘homegrown’
his defining personality trait.” Ocasio-Capo was hired as a cashier before moving over to the Starbucks, and became a great barista, Mason said. “Omar got along with everyone,” she said. Eddie Jamoldroy Justice tapped out a series of chilling text messages to his mother from a bathroom at the Orlando nightclub. The 45-minute exchange began with a message of love. “Mommy I love you,” the first message to Mina Justice said at 2:06 a.m. The messages stopped shortly after he confirmed to her that the shooter was nearby. Eddie Justice, 30, was normally a homebody who liked to eat and work out, his mother said. He liked to make everyone laugh. He worked as an accountant and lived in a condo in downtown Orlando.
The gunman whose attack on a gay nightclub left 49 victims dead appears to have been a “homegrown extremist” who espoused support for a jumble of often-conflicting Islamic radical groups, the White House and the FBI said Monday. As Orlando mourned its dead with flowers, candles and vigils, counterterrorism investigators Omar Meteen dug into the AFP/getty Images background of 29-year-old Omar Mateen for clues to why the American-born Muslim carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. “So far, we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the United States, and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network,” said FBI Director James Comey. But he said Mateen was clearly “radicalized.” Comey said the bureau is also trying to determine whether Mateen had recently scouted Disney World as a potential target. The FBI chief defended the bureau’s handling of Mateen during two previous investigations into his apparent terrorist sympathies. Wielding an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and a handgun, Mateen opened fire at Pulse Orlando early Sunday in a three-hour shooting rampage and hostage siege that ended with a SWAT team killing him. During the attack, he called 911 to profess allegiance to Daesh. At t h e W h i t e H o u s e , President Barack Obama said there is no clear evidence so far that Mateen was directed by the group, calling the attack an apparent example of “homegrown extremism.”

Remember their names A gunman wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., early Sunday, leaving at least 49 people dead in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Here are stories of some of the victims.
Last Monday, Akyra Murray, who turned 18 in January, graduated third in her class of 42 students at West Catholic Preparatory High School in Philadelphia, where she had also been a 1,000-point scorer on the basketball team. “She was very loving, caring, out to help anybody,” her mother, Natalie Murray, recalled. To celebrate her graduation, Akyra, her parents and her 4-year-old sister travelled to Orlando for a family vacation. On Saturday, Murray told her parents she wanted to party in downtown Orlando. They dropped her off at Pulse at 11:30 Saturday night. At about 2 a.m., Akyra Murray sent a text message to her mother, saying that she and her cousins wanted to be picked up. She said there had been a shooting.
Moments later, the phone rang. “She was saying she was shot and she was screaming, saying she was losing a lot of blood,” Natalie Murray said. Murray said her daughter was hiding in a bathroom stall, cowering from the shooter, her arm bleeding for hours with no medical treatment. Mercedez Marisol Flores went to Pulse nightclub almost every weekend, Flores’ sister-in-law said Monday, often with her best friend Amanda Alvear. Both women died in the shooting. “She was very outgoing,” Nancy Flores said of Mercedez Flores. “She had lots of friends. They used to always meet up at Pulse.” Born in Queens, N.Y., the 26-year-old Flores moved to Florida when she was a child, her sister-in-law said. She worked at Target and studied at Valencia
College, a local community college. She wanted to become a party planner so she could coordinate events with her two older brothers, who are both DJs. Alvear, 25, had bonded with friend Sandy Marte over breakups and health problems. Marte said he was trying to comfort her after the breakup. She had lost a lot of weight following gastric bypass surgery and Marte encouraged her to socialize and enjoy life. “She was loving, she was caring, she always had an open ear,” Marte said of his friend Alvear. Luis Omar Ocasio-Capo wanted to be a star. The 20-year-old dancer was working at Starbucks inside a Kissimmee Target store while studying theatre, and would have auditioned on Tuesday for a play, said his sister, Belinette Ocasio-Capo. Omar, as he was known to

MUSLIM NATIONS The world’s largest body of Muslim-majority nations condemned the mass shooting but also warned against “political campaigning and self-serving agendas” in the wake of the tragedy. The 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation said in a statement Monday that “the massacre, as terrible as it is, must not be taken out of its
context as a domestic American case.” ISRAEL Israeli President Reuven Rivlin says in a letter to President Barack Obama that Israel stands “shoulder to shoulder with our American brothers and sisters.” PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah says the dead-
liest mass shooting in U.S. history is a “senseless act of terror and hate” and that “Palestinians stand with the American people in this difficult time.” RUSSIA People have been bringing flowers and rainbow flags to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to show their solidarity with victims of the shooting since early Monday.

The security company that employed both the Florida nightclub gunman and an armoured car guard who killed three coworkers in Edmonton in 2012 has defended its hiring practices, but says it cannot guarantee employees won’t commit violent crimes. Communications director Katie McLeod of the Canadian arm of U.K.-based G4S says the global security company does as much as it can to investigate prospective employees before hiring them, using both government and its own checks to screen them. “In Canada, you must have your provincial security licence before you are even considered for employment,” McLeod said. Omar Mateen, a G4S employee in Orlando, Fla., has been identified as the gunman in the attack Sunday. In 2012 in Edmonton, an armed G4S guard killed three coworkers and wounded a fourth while they were servicing a University of Alberta campus ATM. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Rosemary Westwood on the lessons of stanford
Schools must choose a side Any post-secondary institution that would prefer its name not become synonymous with ‘rape’ would do well to internalize what the Brock Turner sexual-assault case made abundantly clear: Universities have a responsibility not just to react to sexual violence but also to prevent it. To Michele Dauber, a law professor at Stanford University, Jane Doe is a new Rosa Parks. It’s a striking, possibly overreaching statement. But it sets the stakes now at play for universities in the starkest of terms: You are either on the right or the wrong side of fighting campus sexual violence, just as you were once (and remain) on the right or wrong side of fighting racism. Jane Doe is the victim in the Stanford sexual-assault case, which ignited international condemnation after her assailant, Brock Turner, was given a slight six-month jail sentence for crimes that might have earned him a maximum of 14 years. “We are at a real watershed moment in public perception of campus sexual assaults,” Dauber told The New York Times this week. At the centre: Jane Doe’s defiant courtroom statement, read aloud on newscasts, shared tens of millions of times online, quoted by the vicepresident of the United States and credited for igniting fierce conversation over consent and rape. In her letter, Jane Doe attacked Turner’s effort to scapegoat his behaviour on booze and partying. Through it, she refused to meekly accept her fate, Dauber suggests, just as Rosa Parks once refused to move from her seat on a bus. Canadian universities should take this new level of furor over sexual violence as a warning: Think
Canadian universities should be asking themselves how many Brock Turners are wandering their own campuses.
“Stanford,” and the next word that now comes to mind is “rape” — and your school could be next. Of course, they shouldn’t need the warning, but they also shouldn’t have needed provincial governments to force them to create dis-
tinct sexual-assault procedures. (Even back in 1993, one study found as many as one in four women are sexually assaulted at universities.) New bills passed in Ontario and B.C., as well as another introduced in
Manitoba, all require that campuses adopt standalone policies. Far too many need the push. Irene Shankar, a researcher at Mount Royal University, surveyed 103 English-language schools this spring and found that only 25 had policies. Some
Metro POLL
Was justice served at Stanford? Brock Turner’s six-month jail sentence — of which he’s expected to serve only half — has been called unfairly lenient, with many who object claiming that Turner’s being a white star athlete at a prestigious school saved him from spending far more time in jail. But we wanted to know what you think.
We asked: Is Brock Turner’s six-month sentence a sufficient punishment?
96%: NO
(1,217 votes) He got off way too easily in relation to the damage he inflicted on his victim. Others won’t be deterred. Rape is rape. Period. alcohol is no defence.
4%: YES
(49 votes) He’ll suffer in jail, and spending the rest of his life on the sex-offender registry will have major implications. It’s far past time we teach our little boys that they are not entitled to women.
He raped someone and is only getting a sixmonth sentence. Disgusting! Disgraceful!
Such a light sentence underscores the perceived value of men’s lives over a woman’s right to be safe.
His actions reflect a deeper psychological attitude of superiority. This behaviour was learned.
White privilege is real, and this is a sickening case of it.

schools, like the University of British Columbia, have been publicly shamed into instituting better practices over their poor handling of complaints. Effective policies to tackle the fallout of violence is one thing. Preventing assaults is quite another. In a recent case study of one anonymous Alberta campus, Shankar found the school paid so much lip service to fighting sexual violence, action got left behind. “It’s almost become this opting-out that universities use,” she told me. Schools will repeat how “complex” the problem is, which normalizes sexual violence and lets schools off the hook for solutions, she added. Until, of course, an attack makes international headlines. Stanford has defended its own conduct in the wake of the assault, noting there was “an immediate police investigation” (for which the school can’t actually claim any responsibility) and that “in less than two weeks after the incident, Stanford had conducted an investigation and banned Turner from setting foot on campus — as a student or otherwise.” Students, however, are not satisfied. There’s a petition calling for, among other things, the school to apologize to Jane Doe because the attack happened on its campus, increase funding for sexual-assault prevention and mandatory sexual-assault education for all students. Going by Stanford’s own data, those last two suggestions are needed. The school’s 2015 campus climate survey found that one-third of undergraduate women experienced nonconsensual sexual misconduct, “including acts ranging from sexual touching to penetration” (also known as rape).
The fact that students might get to university without a firm understanding of sexual assault mirrors Brock Turner’s own court statements. He blamed a culture of drinking and promiscuity for his action, apparently unable to separate sex from assault. It’s an explanation that excuses nothing, but one that should deeply worry college and university administrators. They should be asking themselves how many Brock Turners are wandering their own campuses. Taking swift action in the wake of assaults — with care for a victim and consequences for an abuser — is good policy, but it’s not perfect behaviour. The best way to avoid being Stanford isn’t to defend your actions after the fact. It’s to stop the violence in the first place.

A sonnet that soothed the world tony awards
at the show
Love is love is the line we need to keep repeating
Tonys a beacon of diversity For all the talk about diversity and inclusiveness this season (absent at the Oscars, present at the Tonys), nothing could beat one powerful image: All four of the musical acting winners at the Tonys were black actors. “It’s so diverse that Donald Trump has threatened to build a wall around this theatre,” said host James Corden, pictured below. Daveed Diggs won the award for featured actor in a musical for Hamilton, Cynthia Erivo won for leading actress in a musical for The Color Purple, Leslie Odom, Jr., won leading actor in a musical for Hamilton, and Renee Elise Goldsberry, pictured top inset, won the award for featured actress in a musical for Hamilton.
THE SHOW: The 70th Annual Tony Awards THE MOMENT: The sonnet
The evening was already emotional. Host James Corden kicked it off by acknowledging the mass shooting that had occurred early that morning in a gay nightclub in Orlando: “Theatre is a place where every race, creed and sexuality is equal, embraced and loved,” he said. Winners celebrated theatre’s inclusiveness in their acceptance speeches. Then Hamilton creator LinManuel Miranda won for Best Score and read a sonnet he’d just written. “Senseless acts of tragedy remind us, that nothing here is promised. Not one day,” he said. Emotion increasing, he continued, “We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger . . . hope and love last longer.” Voice breaking, he hit his crescendo: “Love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside.” With each “love,” he pulled a lump higher into your throat. You could feel the room stop breathing.

If you missed this show — even if you don’t give a toss about theatre — you should watch this speech. Forget the rhetoric that bombards us every time terrible events are perpetrated. Forget the silver ribbons that people will wear
for a while, then put aside. Miranda’s last line is what we need to keep reiterating. (#Loveislove became an immediate hashtag.) The show went on. People sang joyfully. Corden did a funny bit about how Law &
Order kept Broadway actors employed. Several winners spoke eloquently about the power of art to help explain tragedy and console after it occurs. But the sonnet was the peak. The Tony Awards aired on

Stop bellyaching about belly fat HEALTH
Health pros get real about risk factors If your spare tire is expanding, there may be cause for concern — but not because your pants don’t fit. Here, health experts explain all about stomach fat. What is abdominal obesity? Dr. Fahad Razak, an internist at St. Michael’s Hospital, says abdominal obesity is a disproportionate gain of fat within the abdomen, relative to other parts of the body. If a man’s waist measures more than 102 centimetres, or a woman’s measures more than 88 centimetres, then the patient is considered abdominally obese. The fat tissue is actually two types of fat: subcutaneous fat, just below the skin; and visceral fat, stored in the abdomen and around the organs. Who gets it? Dr. Sonia Anand, professor of medicine and epidemiology at McMaster,
says men are more likely to be abdominally obese than women, said Anand. But once women are postmenopausal and losing estrogen, they may grow larger bellies, she said. South Asian populations are prone to developing visceral fat, said Anand, whose research focuses on people of this demographic. And then there’s body shape. Whether you have a pear shape — meaning you carry more weight in your hips — or apple shape — meaning you carry weight in your stomach — comes down to genetics.
low-grade inflammation, they’re more prone to coronary artery disease, gingivitis and other health issues, he said. But the main health concerns are: diabetes, cholesterol abnormalities and heart disease, said Razak. Abdominal fat is more metabolically active and can affect a body’s hormones and insulin control. Abdominal fat can also contribute to elevated levels of bad cholesterol and depressed levels of good cholesterol, he said.
What are the health risks? If someone has an excess of stomach fat, they usually have an excess of visceral fat too, said Dr. Paul Poirier, a cardiologist and professor of pharmacy at Laval University. That fat around your heart, liver, kidneys and stomach, can lead to organ malfunction, he said. The visceral fat also produces a molecule called adipokine, which is proinflammatory and circulates around the body, said Poirier. When someone has
What can you do about it? Reduce calorie intake, increase fruit and vegetable intake, increase fibre intake, reduce intake of saturated and trans fats. Exercise. Registered dietitian Abby Langer agrees: “I would tell people to clean up their diet,” she said. Bariatric surgery could help to shrink a patient’s stomach and improve overall health, despite being an extreme step, said Razak.

MYTH busting belly fat Myth 1: Drinking beer causes beer bellies It’s not the beer, but the calories, said Dr. Sonia Anand, McMaster University. But if you have a beer belly, you may want to cut back on the beer. People with abdominal obesity have a higher risk of a fatty liver. Combined with alcohol, that will stress your liver, increasing your risk of chronic liver disease.

Myth 2: Spot reduction workouts shrink bellies “There’s no such thing as spot reduction,” says Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, author of Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work. If you work on losing weight, you will eventually lose body weight all over. Personal trainer Kathleen Trotter adds it’s nutrition, that will help you achieve weight loss goals.
Myth 3: Cutting out specific foods helps While some research shows diets high in simple carbohydrates — such as white bread and sugary desserts — can contribute to abdominal obesity, that’s not proven, said Anand. Instead, overall good nutrition is what you should be focusing on to lose body weight, says Trotter.

Mental health still carries stigma: Poll Online survey
Many people afraid to seek help for issues, doctor says New data shows 40 per cent of Canadians say they’ve experienced feelings of anxiety or depression — but haven’t sought medical help. The numbers come from a survey of more than 1,500 Canadian adults by Women’s College Hospital and Shoppers Drug Mart. The results offer a striking look at the level of stigma and shame still surrounding mental illness, with 42 per cent of respondents saying they would be embarrassed to admit if they did have a mental health issue. “People, despite everything, see it as a sign of weakness,” said Dr. Valerie Taylor, psychiatrist-inchief, department of medicine at Women’s College Hospital and a scientist at Women’s College Research Institute. Mental health has made headlines in recent years, thanks to the efforts of activists, companies and individuals pushing to end the stigma — from the Can-
ada-wide, conversation-starting campaign, to American actress Kristen Bell’s recent TIME magazine essay, in which she opened up for the first time about her struggle with depression after not speaking about her mental health issues for the first 15 years of her career. “There is such an extreme stigma about mental health issues, and I can’t make heads or tails of why it exists,” Bell wrote in her May essay. “Anxiety and depression are impervious to accolades or achievements. Anyone can be affected, despite their level of success or their place on the food chain.” The WCH and Shoppers Drug Mart survey was conducted on-
of family member is important if they’re struggling with a mental issue such as anxiety or depression. Even so, more than one third of respondents said they wouldn’t know how to support someone who needed help. “I think if we could decrease some of the stigma, people would perhaps be better able to come forward earlier and we’d have (fewer) tragedies,” Taylor said. Ulla Jensen, a retired nurse in Port Hope, Ont., can relate to the tragedy of mental illness; her daughter Jeanine D’Antonio took her own life in April 2014 at the age of 44 after struggling with depression and anxiety.
Anxiety and depression are impervious to accolades or achievements. Anyone can be affected. Kristen Bell, in her TIME essay line in May by Environics, a Toronto-based market research firm. The poll highlighted the benefits of a strong support network, with 94 per cent of women and 85 of men saying the support of a friend
“It was very hard for us to deal with — her family, her husband, her 11-year-old child. I feel the system let her down and we all had some complicity in it,” said Jensen. “We weren’t able to recognize when she was really hurting.” torstar news service

Cavs keep title hope alive NBA Finals
James, Irving each score 41 points to send series to Ohio LeBron James had 41 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists, Kyrie Irving also scored 41 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers capitalized on the Warriors playing without suspended star Draymond Green, staving off NBA Finals elimination with a 112-97 victory in Game 5 on Monday night. James and Irving became the first teammates to score 40 points in an NBA Finals game as the Cavaliers pulled within 3-2 and sent their best-of-seven series back to Ohio. Take that, haters. James had much more to say about these playoffs before he’s done — and not with his mouth, even as the criticism came from all directions following his Game 4 tussle with Green and reaction to what he considered the Golden State forward’s inappropriate words. He was booed again as the Cavs left the court for their locker-room, but thousands of fans had already made for the exits minutes earlier. The Cavs handed defending champion Golden State just its fourth defeat at sold-out Oracle Arena all season, denying MVP Stephen Curry and the Warriors a chance to celebrate a second straight title with their golden-clad “Strength In Numbers” supporters. Now, Curry and Co. must try to win on the

From three sand saves, to a 90-foot eagle putt on No. 11, to getting out of tree trouble for par on No. 18, Henderson was a study in resilience and shot versatility in a 6-under final round. The victory propelled Henderson into the No. 2 spot behind Ko in the world rankings. It also pushed Henderson’s season earnings to over $1 million US. With a lot more golf to play in 2016, including three more majors and the Olympic Games, the Canadian has set her sights on overtaking Ko. “This is huge momentum for sure,” Henderson told reporters Monday morning from Portland, Ore., on a conference call. “Definitely a huge confidence booster. To get that world ranking up to No. 2 is kind of surreal, kind of unbelievable, but I still have one more spot to go.” The Canadian Press

Undercover contenders Euro
2016
Group stage
Italians flip script on pre-tourney expectations Italy opened its campaign with an impressive victory over Belgium, while defending champion Spain beat the Czech Republic on a good day for the traditional powerhouses. Ridiculed by their own media as one of the country’s worst tournament teams ever, the Italians responded with a huge 2-0 win that sent the Azzurri to the top of Group E after Sweden and Ireland drew 1-1 earlier. Also Monday, Spain needed a late goal from Gerard Pique to beat a particularly stubborn Czech Republic 1-0. Tight defending and two well-taken goals were the keys to Italy overcoming a Belgium lineup tipped by some to win it all.

While the likes of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne failed to deliver, Emanuele Giaccherini and Graziano Pelle made a mockery of Italy’s underdog status. Giaccherini pounced on a stunning 40-metre pass over the Belgium defence by Leonardo Bonucci to score in the 32nd minute and Pelle rounded off a breakaway with an unstoppable volley from inside the area in stoppage time. “The critics were all against us,” said Italy coach Antonio Conte. “But this is the beauty of football. You get the chance to prove people wrong, if you have the determination and will to work like we have.”

In Toulouse, Spain’s patience finally paid off in the 87th minute, when Andres Iniesta found space on the left side of the area to chip over a perfect cross for Pique to head home. It was no less than Vicente Del Bosque’s team deserved. “We took the initiative during the entire match. We dominated,” the Spain coach said. “Iniesta made a perfect pass
and Pique was phenomenal.” Sweden’s game at SaintDenis was a great deal more balanced, with Ireland well worth its 48th-minute lead when Wes Hoolahan swept in Seamus Coleman’s cross with a sweetly-struck half volley. “It’s up there with the best goals I’ve scored,” said Hoolahan, known as “Wessi” among fans of Norwich — a play on
Lionel Messi’s name in an homage to 34-year-old Irishman’s trickery. As ever, though, the talismanic Ibrahimovic came to Sweden’s rescue. His dangerous ball across the face of the goal was met with a stooping header by luckless Ireland defender Ciaran Clark into his own net.
Fan Violence The head of English football says he has “serious concerns” about the security arrangements for England’s match against Wales on Thursday in Lens. The match will be played in the northern city which is only 30 kilometres from Lille, where Russia will take on Slovakia the day before. There were clashes between England and Russia fans in Marseille last week, and UEFA has threatened the teams with potential expulsion if there are more.

Russian doctor says club being targeted for extra PED testing Russia’s team doctor is concerned that his players may be taking more doping tests than any other country at the European Championship. Eduard Bezuglov said Monday that inspectors came to the Rus-

Asked if Russia’s soccer team was being unfairly targeted because of other doping scandals in Russian sport, Bezuglov said: “We’ve been asking this question to ourselves, whether we have been tested more than other.”
